Overview
 Annual Report 2021

Sadara Chemical Company is a joint venture developed by the Saudi Arabian

Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and the Dow Chemical Company. It owns and
operates a multi-billion-dollar world-scale chemical complex in Jubail
Industrial City II in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Comprised of 26 world-scale
manufacturing units, the Sadara chemical complex is the world’s largest ever
built in a single phase.

Sadara is the only chemical company in the Kingdom – and indeed in the entire
Gulf – that uses best-in-class technologies to crack refinery liquids and gases.
With a Mixed Feed Cracker (MFC) that also cracks ethane gas, Sadara can adjust
to varying economic and market conditions. By cracking liquids, Sadara
enables downstream industries that either do not exist in the Kingdom or exist
only through imports of raw materials.

Fourteen of Sadara’s plants are new to Saudi Arabia and their products are
being made in the Kingdom for the first time. By bringing state-of-the-art
technologies to create new products, Sadara adds new value chains to enrich
the Kingdom’s existing chemicals landscape.

Sadara delivered its first product – Solution Polyethylene – in December 2015

and was fully operational by September 2017, ready to meet the rising demand
for its differentiated products both in the Kingdom and abroad.

In another first for the Gulf region, Sadara began producing toluene
diisocyanate (TDI). TDI is mainly used in the production of flexible polyurethane
foam for furniture, mattresses, cushioning and car seats. It also has a variety of
industrial uses, such as coatings, adhesives, sealants and specialty foams.

The adjacent PlasChem Park, a unique collaboration between Sadara and the
Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, began to create more value
downstream, offering the prospect of unprecedented investment, innovation,
economic growth and thousands of jobs.

As this publication explains, the year 2021 was also a milestone year
for Sadara business and for the company’s amazing workforce in a
number of key respects. We invite you to explore the impressive achievements of the past
year as set forth in Sadara’s 2021 Annual Report.
For one thing, this year was a financial turning point: 2021 will

CEO’s
Message
As we look back over 2021, all Sadara team members, partners and
supporters can take pride from the fact that we registered a highly
successful year in the face of global economic and health
challenges. Because we remained vigilant to changes in the
international market and supply chain, and because we responded
early and effectively to the threat of the COVID-19 coronavirus,
Sadara maintained a steady course and served as a model for
industrial companies. Our financials were strong, showing a net
profit for the year of more than SR 3.1 billion – the first annual net
profit in Sadara’s history.

Annual Report 2021
The year 2021 saw the completion of the Ethylene Oxide (EO) and
Propylene Oxide (PO) pipeline and distribution center connecting
our Jubail chemical complex to PlasChem Park. The Wasit natural
gasoline pipeline was also completed, enabling Sadara to receive
natural gasoline from Saudi Aramco, complementing sea
shipments, and helping to make more space available at King Fahd
Industrial Port (KFIP) berths. In 2021, we also saw the completion of
SABIC’s integration as second marketer for Sadara.
At the same time, we maintained our focus on sustainability,
ensuring that Sadara remains a global industrial leader in
environmental protection, health, safety, and energy conservation.
Sadara registered impressive performance in controlling the loss of
polyethylene (PE) pellets and powder from its facilities, through
active partnership with Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS), an
international program aimed at preventing resin pellet, flake, and
powder loss and helping to keep these materials out of the marine
environment.
We also achieved numerous certifications in 2021, and won
important awards, including the Princess Seetah Award for
Excellence in Social Work, for our actions in limiting the spread of
COVID-19, and the King Khalid Award for Sustainability, recognizing
private-sector organizations that pursue sustainability and social
responsibility and integrate them into their core business strategies.
None of this would be possible without a skilled, committed
workforce – a primary focus since Sadara’s inception. Over 3,500
professional, technical and skilled workers have been hired, more
than 74 percent of them Saudi nationals. Many have trained in- and
out-of-Kingdom in the advanced technologies and processes that
define Sadara.
Our key accomplishments of 2021 have built our employee
engagement and provide a foundation for even greater
achievements in the year ahead.
Thank you all for your contributions and support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Faisal Al Faqeer

Market
Review
Petrochemical products are affected by economic events which are important
influencers in determining the longer-term capital investments and
02.
profitability of the chemical and its associated industries.
Macroeconomic activity directly drives demand for chemical end uses that
encompass mostly consumer goods (including packaging), such as
appliances, electronics, vehicles and toys, as well as construction or industrial
uses such as solvents, coatings and fuels. Supply/demand models, therefore,
utilize Gross Domestic Product (GDP), population and end-use industry
growth rates to project future demand trends for chemicals. Other
product-specific variables, including production cost, product maturity, threat
of substitution, and technological developments, among others, also greatly
influence demand growth and are taken into account by adjustments to the
projected growth rates over time.
03.
Sadara has three main types of petrochemicals:
Polyethylene, EO & PO Derivatives and Polyurethanes:
01. Polyethylene represents the single largest category of the world’s major
plastics, with total estimated global demand of 120 million MT in 2022, and the
growth rates are forecast to moderate over the coming five years approaching
3 percent. The estimated total capacity of Polyethylene is 140 MT million with
an estimated operation rate of 85 percent. The expected Sadara PE market
share for the global accessible market in 2022 is slightly over 1 percent.
24
Annual Report 2021
Chemicals produced by Sadara are primarily classified in two major groups as
Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Propylene Oxide (PO) derivatives. EO derivative
products are Ethanolamines (EOA), Ethyleneamines (EAE) & Butyl Glycol
Ethers (BGE). PO derivative products are Polyols and Propylene Glycol (PG).
Sadara is among the top six producers of Ethanolamines globally,
representing 7 percent of the industrial capacity with annual global demand
growth estimated at around 23- percent during the next five years. Demand is
predicted to remain strong during the coming years in the
cleaning/disinfection segment. There is a structural shift in the demand
pattern for EOA derivatives in the cleaning products segment, mainly for the
MEA grades, driven by consumer concern for hygiene during pandemic
times.
Sadara produces PMDI & TDI under the Isocyanates portfolio. PMDI
production capacity represents 4 percent of the global capacity with annual
global demand growth estimated at around 4 percent during the next five
years. The demand for MDI is largely driven by the construction industry for
thermal insulation purposes, CASE applications and also to produce rigid
foams for different uses including appliances. Tighter legislative
requirements in building and construction will continue to support the future
growth of MDI. TDI production capacity represents 6 percent of the global
capacity with annual global demand growth estimated at around 34-
percent during the next five years. Primary applications for TDI are to produce
flexible foams and consumer comfort applications.

Higher HPPO capacity creates win-win

for Sadara & downstream plants
Sadara began the year by completing a successful trial to increase the
business’s Hydrogen Oxide to Propylene Oxide (HPPO) plant load to 112
percent, up from a maximum of 110 percent. The achievement gives
downstream plants an additional yearly capacity of around 7.7 kilotons (KT) of
propylene oxide. At the same time, the increased capacity gives Sadara more
flexibility to compensate for losses during reactor swaps and small unplanned
plant outages, without the need for renewed investment.

Sadara converts polyols waste to product,

accelerating progress on sustainability
Sadara marked a key milestone on the company’s journey to corporate
sustainability – in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 goals – by successfully
converting waste from the KOH-MagSil filtering process into polyos product.
Based on product contamination studies with the Central Analytical
Laboratory, the project has progressed Sadara’s efforts to improve overall
material effectiveness for the Propylene Oxide and Derivatives (PO&D)
envelope, resulting in a total annual conversion from polyols into product of
324 tons and a reduction in waste of 44 percent.

Sadara conducts 1st energy audit,

supporting Vision 2030
environment agenda
The Sadara Footprint Team, under the umbrella of the company's
Sustainability Committee, collaborated with the Power Saving Team to
conduct the company’s first energy audit in the Utilities envelope. The shared
initiative supported the Sadara Sustainability Program and was intended to
verify the energy performance of the facility while exploring improvement
opportunities to reduce energy consumption.

The audit identified a number of energy reduction opportunities with zero

project setup costs, as well as measures which require additional evaluation for
consideration. They include further optimization of process equipment
operation, minimizing steam trap leaks, condensate recycling, replacing
conventional lights with more efficient LED lights, more efficient use of HVAC
facilities, and developing equipment efficiency monitoring models.

These opportunities will support natural resource conservation, curb

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, minimize industrial waste, comply with
stakeholder requirements and contribute to reducing power cost, in line with
the Kingdom's Vision 2030 sustainability agenda.
